About NAICS 562211 federal contract activity
NAICS 562211, Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal, accounts for 20.36 billion in obligations across 168,872 awards over the last 10 years, with an average award value of 120,560.58. The volume of awards is high relative to dollars obligated, indicating a market shaped by many smaller actions alongside a limited number of large remediation and disposal obligations. This category is heavily influenced by long-running environmental cleanup and waste management requirements.
Agency demand and leading federal buyers
The Department of Energy is the largest buyer in this NAICS, with 11.58 billion obligated across 1,104 awards, followed by the Department of the Army at 7.04 billion across 2,780 awards. The Defense Logistics Agency stands out for award volume, with 149,823 awards and 861.67 million obligated, indicating broad transactional activity rather than concentrated high-dollar contracting. The Department of the Navy and the Department of Veterans Affairs contribute smaller but still meaningful demand.
Vendor concentration and leading contractors
Washington River Protection Solutions LLC is the leading vendor with 6.75 billion obligated across 383 awards, followed by Bechtel National, Inc. at 3.51 billion and Savannah River Remediation LLC at 3.39 billion. The vendor profile is concentrated among a small set of major integrators and site operators tied to large hazardous waste cleanup and treatment programs. Several of the top vendors have relatively few awards compared with their dollar volume, consistent with large, program-specific contracts.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Annual obligations for the most recent years shown remain elevated, ranging from 1.55 billion in 2022 to 2.64 billion in 2021, with 2023 through 2025 each near or above 1.80 billion. Award counts remain consistently high, with roughly 16,000 to 18,000 awards per year, showing sustained procurement activity rather than isolated spikes. The pattern suggests a stable, recurring demand base driven by continuing hazardous waste treatment and disposal requirements.
How to interpret this page
This analysis uses FPDS obligations and award counts associated with NAICS 562211 over the last 10 years, summarized at the industry, agency, vendor, and annual levels. Top entities are ranked by total obligated dollars, and annual trend figures reflect obligations and award counts reported for each calendar year in the analysis window. Values are presented as recorded in FPDS and should be interpreted as contract obligation data, not necessarily total program cost or completed spend.
